Problems solved by technology

[0004] The traditional CAB synthesis method uses acetic anhydride and butyric anhydride as the esterification agent, a large amount of organic acid as the solvent, and sulfuric acid as the catalyst. In order to complete the esterification reaction, both acetic anhydride and butyric anhydride are in excess. After the esterification reaction, a certain amount of water needs to be added to hydrolyze the unreacted anhydride into acid, and a large amount of butyric acid aqueous solution is produced after the reaction is completed. 1. The acetic acid aqueous solution needs to be recycled, the energy consumption is high, and the three wastes are discharged more; and due to the high price of acid anhydrides, especially butyric anhydride, a large amount of waste of raw materials is caused, and the production cost is high
[0005] The patent CN101668779 describes the preparation of cellulose ester with acid chloride as an acylating agent, but a large amount of hydrogen chloride is produced after esterification of acid chloride, which seriously corrodes the equipment, and a large amount of acidic wastewater is generated after hydrogen chloride post-treatment
[0006] In the patent CN105085689A, vinyl esters are used as esterification agents to prepare cellulose acetate butyrate, but the reaction is a homogeneous reaction, which requires the use of a large amount of solvent (N,N-dimethylacetamide / lithium chloride mixed solution). After analyzing the product, N,N-dimethylacetamide and lithium chloride enter the water, resulting in a large amount of waste water. It is difficult to reuse N,N-dimethylacetamide / lithium chloride, which is not suitable for industrial production
[0007] In summary, acid anhydride or acid chloride is used as the esterification agent in the current production process of cellulose acetate butyrate, the reaction system is highly corrosive and the recovery of the esterification agent is difficult, the three wastes are discharged more, and the production cost is higher; the use of special Solvent dissolves cellulose and uses non-corrosive esterification agent to prepare cellulose acetate butyrate. There is a lot of waste water in the production process, and it is difficult to reuse the solvent, so it is not suitable for industrial production.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing cellulose acetate butyrate, which comprises the following steps: dissolving crushed cellulose in a solvent, and carrying out alcoholysis reaction with acetonitrile and butyronitrile under the catalysis of concentrated sulfuric acid to generate cellulose acetate butyrate. In the cellulose acetate butyrate prepared by the method, the content of acetyl is 1-15wt%, and the content of butyryl is 35-53wt%. According to the invention, a non-corrosive esterifying agent and a solvent are adopted, and a solvent NMMO aqueous solution can be recycled after being concentrated, so that the production cost is greatly reduced, and the method is suitable for industrial production.
